Renting things from strangers is a concern for many people — and it makes sense. This is why Weshare has created a multi-layered “trust signal” system to give both tenants and lessors more confidence before agreeing to a transaction.
Let’s see how this system works and what you should look out for in your profile before renting.
1. Verify your phone number.
These are the most basic and important signs. Verified users:
- ✅ Have a number that can be contacted (text, call)
- ✅ Thai number (+66) linked to real identity (because Thai SIM must be registered with ID card or Passport)
- ✅ Easier to detect fake/spam accounts
Weshare displays the “🇹🇭 Thai Phone Verified” or “🌐 Phone Verified” badge on the profile.
If the user doesn’t have this badge — it doesn’t mean he’s a bad person, but it means that there is no underlying evidence yet. Be especially careful if you are going to make your first transaction with him.
2. Number of successful rentals
User profiles show the number of successful rentals/rentals:
- 🆕 New — No successful transaction Everyone starts here.
- ✅ Verified — 1-4 successful attempts Practical experience
- ⭐ Trusted — 5+ successes, become a loyal user, trustworthy
Credit levels help you make decisions faster.
3. Previous User Review Score
Every rental that is completed is completed, both parties can score each other. This score is always on the profile.
What to look for:
- Average rating (4.5+ is a good sign)
- Number of reviews (10+ is enough information to judge)
- Review content (read what previous tenants wrote)
4. Actual photos on profiles and product listings
Good signs:
- Profile pictures are real people (faces or shadows are still better than default avatars).
- Photos of the product taken by yourself (multiple angles, user room lighting, real thing)
- Have a bio even briefly.
Signs to look out for:
- Default profile picture
- Product photos are stock photos from the manufacturer’s website.
- No Bio
- No reply to messages in 24-48 hours
5. Response and Communication
Before agreeing to rent, try texting “Available for these dates?” or a general question.
- How quickly does he answer?
- Did he answer politely?
- Does he give clear details?
Good communication before renting often means a good experience during rental.
Why is this important for landlords too?
The trust system isn’t just good for tenants — landlords use the same signals to decide to approve rental requests:
Lessors often look at:
- Does the tenant confirm the Thai number (reduce the risk of losing things)?
- Previous rental history
- Number of cancellations (if you have canceled 3+ times — bad signal)
Tips for novice renters: Confirm phone number + enter bio + quick reply = approve much faster Lessor approves people who “look like real people” 4 times faster than empty profiles.

Conclusion
Security in P2P rental is not a matter of “believe it or not”, but it is a matter of deciding from multiple layers of signals:
✅ Confirm number + ✅ score 4.5+ + ✅ 5+ rental success + ✅ real photo = you are quite confident
🆕 New + No review + default image = Be extra careful Set clear rules or start with things that are not expensive first.
